The resident saw a patient in the clinic and wrote his note, which the attending physician cosigned. The attending physician then wrote a separate note with the same date and time which he signed. Can both of these notes be used to determine the level and diagnoses for the visit, or can only the attending's note be used since he didn't include an attestation statement for the resident's note? They obviously both saw the patient, but the notes are slightly different.
